Dykes Towatch Out For by Alison Bechdel

same as it ever was

HI, SWEETIE. SIT DOWN AND PUT YOUR FEET UP. HERE'S A GLASS OF MILK. YOU SHOULD BE GAINING A POUND A WEEK BY NOW.

STUART,

DON'T...

DRINK UP! MOMMY'S LOOKING A LITTLE THIN. I HAVE A NICE, PROTEIN AND IRONRICH DINNER COMING RIGHT UP.

UH... MOMMY'S LOOKING A LITTLE HOMICIDAL

GOD, GINGER HE'S SO COMPLETELY INTO THIS BABY, THERE'S NO ROOM FOR ME! WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE MILK? WHAT IF THE WAY MY BODY'S CHANGING IS FREAKING ME OUT?

WHAT IF ALL THE ESTROGEN TURNS ME INTO ONE OF THOSE WOMEN WHO CHATTER ABOUT CALORIES AND SELF-ESTEEM AND SHOES? I USED TO BE A RADICAL LESBIAN FEMINIST, GODDAMN IT!

I HAVEN'T FELT THIS LONELY AND CONFUSED SINCE I CAME OUT.

RIGHT. I'LL MOVE TO THE BISEXUAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND START VOLUNTEERING AT THE COFEEHOUSE FOR UNINTENTIONALLY PREGNANT BI-DYKES WITH OVERZEALOUS MALE PARTNERS.

I KNOW IT'S SUDDEN, BUT WE JUST GOT AN UNEXPECTED TAX BILL

SO WE HAVE ANOTHER FUNDRAISER!

THAT'S NO SOLUTION. SALES ARE DOWN, COSTS ARE UP, WE CAN'T COMPETE WITH THE BIG STORES, THE CAFE NEVER TOOK OFF. I JUST CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER INTO DEBT.

SO WE JUGGLE THE BOOKS! WHAT ARE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING STAN DARDS" FOR?

NO. THIS. IS IT.

WELL

WHEN I OPENED THIS PLACE 25 YEARS AGO, THE STORE WAS AN OUTPOST IN A HOSTILE ENVIRON MENT, THE FUTURE WAS UNCHARTED. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS GETTING INTO, EXCEPT THAT IT WASN'T GOING TO MAKE MUCH MONEY.

DO WHAT YOU DID THEN.

WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT TO COME FULL CIRCLE

JEEZ. I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR FEMINISM.

WE DID. TO BE REPACKAGED AND SOLD BY GLOBAL MEDIA CONGLOMERATES.
